Zhang Dacheng was terrified.
He never expected that Lin Xiu would actually want to reinvestigate the case.
Immediately, cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
In this way, Lin Xiu was even more certain that there was definitely something fishy about this case.
When Zhao Sheng personally followed the county's bailiffs and brought over the file of Zhong Li murdering Du Ping.
Lin Xiu opened it and quickly flipped through it.
In the end, his expression became even more solemn.、
Pa!
"Hou…Lord Marquis!"
Zhang Dacheng was so frightened by this slap that he almost knelt on the ground.
"This case was personally decided by you?”
"Yes, this lowly official personally decided!"
"Hmph, there are many loopholes in the case, and many of them are inconsistent with the case. As the county magistrate of Zhongnan County and the father and mother of the local government, not only did you not investigate the case, you actually closed the case so hastily.”
Lin Xiu's words could be said to be sonorous and forceful.
Every word was on the tip of a knife, stabbing at Zhang Dacheng's heart.
When he finished speaking, Zhang Dacheng's legs trembled non-stop.
He raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
Du Ping was from Zhongnan County and his family was considered wealthy.
He had been good friends with Zhong Kui in his early years. In order to allow Zhong Kui to enter the capital for the imperial examination, Du Ping had to invest in his resources.
After Zhong Kui crashed into the main hall.
Du Ping treated Zhong Kui's sister as his own and took good care of her.
But the case happened a year ago.
Because Du Ping saw that Zhong Li lived alone every day, he couldn't bear to see her continue to suffer.
He couldn't bear it, so he brought Zhong Li over to his residence.
However, Du Ping had another wife, Madam Liang.
This person came from a wealthy family, but his personality was crafty and domineering, unforgiving.
Ever since Zhong Li went to the Du Residence and determined that she was Du Ping's concubine, he was unhappy and made things difficult for her every day, often mocking her with harsh words.
In a fit of anger, Zhong Li left the Du Residence and returned to his residence.
However, after Du Ping found out, he scolded his wife and advised Zhong Li to go back.
However, Zhong Li and his brother Zhong Kui were the same. They would rather live a simple and bitter life than live under someone else's roof.
Helplessly, Du Ping would send people to send some money to Zhong Li every three to five days.
Zhong Li had no way to repay him, so he often made some pastries and sent them to Du Ping.
However, one day…
After Du Ping ate the pastries Zhong Li had sent over, he died of stool poisoning.
After Liang made a scene, she reported Zhong Li to the county government.
Under torture, Zhong Li was forced to admit the crime of poisoning Du Ping and was sentenced to beheading.
This was what had happened. During this period, there was no mention of how Zhong Li had poisoned Du Ping.
However, the dossier stated that Du Ping had died from the poison after eating the pastries he had sent over…
The trial process of such a case could be said to be extremely simple and full of loopholes.
What was the difference between closing the case in such a hasty manner and treating human lives with complete disregard?
Zhang Dacheng was so scared that his face was covered in cold sweat.
Lin Xiu's gaze also became increasingly dark and cold.
"There are many strange things about this case. Today, I want to re-examine it. Come, bring the plaintiff, Madam Liang, to me!”Lin Xiu said.
"Yes, sir!"
Zhao Sheng bowed and led several bailiffs out of the county office.
At this moment, the sky was already dark.
There were still many commoners gathered at the entrance of the yamen.
Some people were waiting here purely to watch the show.
However, some people felt that it was unfair for Zhong Li.
Last year, when this case had just happened.
Many commoners came to the county government to plead for mercy.
They believed that Zhong Li would never commit such a crime.
There were too many strange things.
Even if it was poisoned to death, how could it fall on Zhong Li?
However, the county magistrate, Zhang Dacheng, did not listen to them at all. He even ordered people to beat them out.
Now, it wasn't easy for him to have a grand master.
Many commoners were looking forward to it.
He wanted to see if he could give Zhong Li justice.
At this moment, in the Du Residence.
Madam Liang had just finished her meal and did not rest.
Ever since Du Ping's death, she had the final say in the Du family.
Not only did she put on heavy makeup every day, there were also many strange men coming in and out of her residence.
However, at this moment.
Someone knocked on the door.
When the people in the manor opened the door.
Zhao Sheng rushed in and said,"Who is the Liang Corporation?"
Madam Liang was stunned. She swayed her slender waist and walked out of the house.
"Yo, officials, why did you come to the residence so late at night?”Madam Liang said.
Zhao Sheng was once a member of the Hundred Cavalry Division and had undergone strict training.
How could he fall for this?
He looked at Madam Liang coldly.
"You are the Liang family?"
"It's me!"
"Alright, my lord has come to Zhongnan County today to review the case of poisoning Du Ping. You are the plaintiff, so you can follow me to the county office!”
"Ah?"
Madam Liang was shocked. Just as she was about to speak...
The bailiffs that Zhao Sheng had brought.
However, he didn't care about the consequences and directly went forward to grab him.
He pulled her out.
In everyone's eyes, how was this a case for the plaintiff? This was clearly an act to catch a criminal.
However, those servants naturally did not dare to say anything.
He could only watch helplessly as his wife was taken away by the official.
At this moment, outside the county government.
More and more people gathered here.
When Madam Liang was brought here.
Many people pointed at him and discussed him endlessly.
Madam Liang frowned, and a bad feeling gradually rose in her heart.
Just as she was being escorted in, she saw a young man sitting in the hall.
His expression was solemn, his eyes were cold, and his body was filled with a righteous aura.
Meanwhile, the county magistrate of Zhongnan County was standing at the side with his head lowered, looking listless.
Beside him was an ugly man.
With a furious expression, he pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
Pa!
With a loud sound, Lin Xiu fiercely slapped the gavel.
Madam Liang was so frightened that she trembled and almost cried out.
"What is your name?" Lin Xiu asked coldly.
Madam Liang's expression changed drastically as she bowed,""Lady Liang greets Your Excellency!"
Lin Xiu nodded." Is it the Liang family that sued Zhong Li a year ago for poisoning her husband?"”
"It's, it's a commoner's wife!"
"Alright, I came here today to reinvestigate this case. If it was really Zhong Li who poisoned your husband, I will naturally give you justice. However, if there is something else going on, hmph hmph, Madam Liang, have you tried my dog head chop?”Lin Xiu said coldly.
Hearing this, Madam Liang's expression changed.
There was no longer the seductive feeling from before.
His face was as white as a sheet of paper, devoid of blood…
